On my most recent orders, I’ve received tracking numbers that are SUPER long, and start with ES. When I google them, they don’t match as tracking numbers either. I’m not worried, as the postal service indicates that I’m receiving packages from China, which I assume are those items. But the tracking number on my USPS Dashboard doesn’t match with those super long ES tracking numbers that eBay has associated with my purchases. Any idea what’s up with that?

Yes. That super long tracking number beginning with ES on your Ebay order is a SpeedPAK tracking number. You can see the shipping method on your Ebay orders page for that item. You can track track that number with Economy SpeedPAK tracking from China
or ALL-IN-ONE PACKAGE TRACKING | 17TRACK . Bear in mind that SpeedPAK tracking STOPS ONCE YOUR PACKAGE REACHES US SOIL and is handed over to USPS for the rest of the journey. This is what most customers are upset about. (see eBay Disappoints Buyers with China SpeedPAK) They have no way of monitoring their shipment from that point.
You just can register for alert updates sent to your email or phone via text like you can with USPS tracking number. As mentioned before, one the package reaches US soil the SpeedPAK tracking number stops updating for the rest of the journey since it gets handed off to USPS. USPS will generate its own tracking number but you won't know what it is until you see it printed on the shipping box upon delivery which by then it is useless. USPS.com's Informed Delivery option will show you the USPS tracking number but you have no way of knowing what SpeedPAK tracking number it is connected to. If you've ordered only 1 Ebay item from China within a certain period you can easily deduce that the USPS tracking number that Informed Delivery page shows is your SpeedPAK package. However if you've ordered multiple packages from China via Ebay you have no way of knowing which newly generated USPS tracking number is connected to which SpeedPAK tracking number

Thank you, that was extremely helpful!

I do have Informed Delivery, but as you mentioned, I don’t know which package is linked to each number. In this case it doesn’t matter, as they’re both going to arrive at the same time. Still, I’m glad I now understand what’s going on. Thanks again!

No problem. I hope Ebay goes back to the previous shipping options for shipments from China. It's pretty bad that we don't have reliable tracking with the current setup. Besides SpeedPAK shipping does not seem to move any faster than the previous option.

So I’m waiting on a TFSource package which last I checked should arrive tomorrow with all manner of goodies including the PE upgrades for Volcanicus. Was in Jersey yesterday so fingers crossed. I have two I’m waiting on from eBay. The first from El Paso just arrived in NY so hopefully also tomorrow. The second is coming from Japan and I sadly have no tracking info. Estimate says end of the month so I’ll just have to wait.

Right, most of my recent Ebay purchases from China are being sent via SpeedPAK then to USPS I'm aware that the SpeedPAK number does not carry over to USPS and that USPS generates its own tracking number once the package reaches US soil and is handed over to USPS. Once the package reaches the USA then the SpeedPAK tracking stops. I just wish there was a way to tell which newly generated USPS tracking number replaced which SpeedPAK tracking number.

I can think of one, somewhat clunky, way of deducing which USPS number matches up with the SP number. However, it requires you to be able to distinguish roughly when the package hits the USPS system. If you can't distinguish them (because the shipping times aren't linear, that is, that don't all take the same time to get from China to the US), then it doesn't work. But you've probably already tried this.

I don't see any way of sorting it out with multiple orders at or around the same time.

still waiting for my Wal-Mart g1 hot rod.. ordered last week, been shipped but moving slowly.. set to be in the neighborhood on thursday.. doesn't suck all that much was fortunate enough to get one, but this will have been the longest I've ever waited for a 2day pickup. makes it more exciting i guess, or is it anxiety. I say a bit of both....

I heard Canada Post is deciding on a strike. Gonna be hard to get anything.

I think the postal workers union voted to strike if negotiations failed. They do this every few years. The last time they went on strike, the federal government passed back-to-work legislation. That said, I think there have been around 20 work stoppages in the fifty or so years.
